One of the best ways to ring in the New Year is with family, friends and a large spread of finger foods that will last until midnight. Whether you are hosting this year's fete or bringing a dish to someone else's, this tasty (and easy) salsa is a great addition to any party spread. Pineapple pico de gallo offers summery flavors of pineapple, plus a jalapeno kick. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, or if you really want to go all out, pineapple pico de gallo is an excellent addition to a Mexican-style buffet. Serve up a pot of beans, chop your favorite toppings and set out tostada shells. Add a pitcher of margaritas and your New Year's fiesta is sure to be a hit.
